Trade credit is an agreement between two or more parties to facilitate a transaction, where payment is not exchanged at the time a good or service is purchased (or rendered). Trade Finance is a broad term with a number of important subtopics – all of which revolve around structuring transactions to de-risk as many elements as possible. This course covers mitigation tools for payment, performance, currency, and shipping risks (among others), by exploring common credit and payment terms, lending products, shipping terms, hedging strategies, insurance products, and more. We look at these topics from the perspectives of buyers, sellers, and the financial services professionals that advise and finance the two counterparties.
